Now that people are publicly airing their suspicions that AlexaRPD is a fraud, I’ll tell you why I started (and continued) linking to her and how/why my irritation with her escalated:

*I’ll pretty much link to any sexy-type blog provided one or more of these conditions are met:

I’m hit up at the right time (when I have time to check them out & add them)

they’re already sending me traffic (& I notice it on one of those rare days I check my stats)

their blogs are told from a personal perspective

they look like someone my readers/traffic would be interested in

Alexa’s blog qualified on all of those counts. I think the only post I read all the way through was her pet bunny post, which moved me. It also did something very few bloggers have the time or ability to do: it told a whole, coherent story. So . . . sex blog, nicely presented, obviously HAS traffic (and will continue to attract traffic) equals good link exchange for me. BECAUSE PART OF WHY I BLOG IS TO MAKE MONEY/attract members to my site.

At first I tried reading parts of a few more posts — the sexy ones — and while they do not do it for me and struck me as exaggerated and full of shit, I didn’t feel outraged even though I sensed the person writing the posts was manufacturing most, if not all, of the content in her imagination. I have HATED reading mean-spirited accusations about bloggers I’ve loved: that they must actually be men, that they couldn’t really possibly be for REAL, blah blah blah. I didn’t want to be one of those people and frankly I didn’t have the time or interest to read enough of her blog to gather “evidence” on her. I exchanged links with her to get traffic to my site and recognized that her blog is the kind that will have many loyal followers. While I may privately harumph at someone who just can’t ever get enough of throat-fucking (her specialty, if I remember correctly), obviously there are many wankers who eat that up.

I actually experienced what now sounds like a disproportionately higher level of irritation over how much she sounded a lot like another(?) Alexa who had a blog called A New York Escorts Confessions (also charged with being fake). I exchanged links with her once upon a time, too, even though that missing apostrophe right in her title DROVE ME FUCKING BATSHIT. I was way more aghast at her idiotic unwillingness to acknowledge and CORRECT her mistake (claiming instead that she did it on purpose for aesthetic reasons) than I was at her concocting or sexing up posts, but again — TRAFFIC. Those of you who blog purely for fun and attention and sparkling conversations in comments (GAG) may not get it (and be sputtering, “but . . . but . . . *I* deserve those sparkling comments more than FAKEY ALEXA does!!” which is probably true), but if I were to not accept traffic (and even PAY for it with reciprocal links and/or affiliate payouts) from sources I didn’t totally love and/or respect we wouldn’t be able to make a living on our sites. Seriously, whatever wrongs AlexaRPD has committed are incredibly small fries compared to the really foul and depressing shit I’ve dealt with from other “colleagues” so it wasn’t particularly troubling to me or something I felt like I needed to get to the bottom of.

Perhaps I’d have felt differently if she were claiming to be a camgirl, though, rather than an escort and former stripper. On the other hand, probably not. There are lots of sites I link to for money even though I don’t LIKE the people who run them or their work is not my cup of tea or who disseminate wrong/stupid information or whatever. I know some of you may find this appalling, but I only feel the slightest twinges of guilt over that. Like, that guilt is miniscule compared to the irritation, say, of a wayward hair in my sock pulling down on the skin between two of my toes. It’s not a whore sellout thing, either: today I saw that some of our very liberal friends took money from the government to provide training to the US Border Patrol to do some very UNprogressive freedom-eroding shit. When I think of all the civilians/non-sex workers who compromise their ethics for money (sometimes without a second thought) I really have a hard time feeling like I need to be a bigger boycotter and censor and ethical tightrope walker. I do not need to be up on the high horse other people insist on riding, instead I’ll stay down here with the common folk, shoveling shit and making money.

AlexaRPD follows me on Twitter (perhaps will be amended after this post to followED) and I have followed her back not just for the traffic exchange, but because she is constantly reading online and posts lots of pertinent sex worker-y news links before anyone else does. Is that one of the many red flags that she has way too much time on her hands to really be doing all the work and school and travel she claims? Totally. Does it make me want to unfollow her? No. I want to read the links she posts and I want the traffic. Didn’t much give a fuck.

But I *started* to give a fuck. The first time I started giving a fuck was when she posted a “Sex Ed” entry attempting to school people on transgender and made some really glaring mistakes like writing as though all transsexuals are MTF (male to female) and just take estrogen for hormone therapy. When a transman got pissed about this in the comments, Alexa’s response wasn’t “OMG — thanks for pointing out to me that my information is completely wrong as applies to FTM transsexuals!” Instead it was hostile. Like the no-apostrophe defense, but much worse. I started writing comments but didn’t post them, realizing as the debate raged on in the comments and Alexa deleted sensible feedback without ONCE apologizing or hastening to correct her mistakes that THIS IS A PERSON WHO NEVER ADMITS TO BEING WRONG even when she should be totally fucking embarrassed to pretend that she’s right. And there is absolutely no point in trying to communicate with her. It irritated me so much, though, that I kept the comments I wrote (but didn’t post) in a draft in my mailbox. Here they are:

I don’t know if anyone else pointed it out as far as factual errors go (and I could be wrong too) but I *think* it actually IS uncommon — extremely — for people to be born with “well-defined sets of both genitals present”. I’m not an expert and I don’t think anyone could be, particularly when all of this stuff (terms, expectations, scientific research) is still evolving BUT I can totally understand why people would get defensive, pissed and call you out on things. Like mostly-defaulting to talking about MTF transpeople and then not getting it when someone pointed out that FTM people obviously have a whole different HRT (hormone replacement therapy) plan. So as far as specific things to correct? The line “This might include surgical alteration, but may also include the commencement of hormonal treatments (estrogen, largely).” I don’t know if you meant to and didn’t get to it, or what. There’s no way to leave that as is and make it sound inclusive of FTM people and that definitely is a pet peeve of mine, that transwomen are fetishized and sensationalized and much more visible in the media like they are THE ONLY transpeople, while transmen are this invisible population — again where the people born with pussies are secondary to the people born with penises whose trials and tribulations and experiences are what all our discussions are built around with the biological cunt-owners being footnotes and exceptions to the rule instead of rulemakers themselves.

Being more specific about HRT *is* really important, I think, and it wouldn’t take that much space to add “usually estrogen & testosterone blockers for MTF and testosterone and progestin for FTM”. It’s really important for people to understand you’re not just ADDING hormones, but trying to counteract the ones you’ve already got.

So let’s call that Strike One for Alexa, the whole “never admits when she’s wrong” problem. With a cherry on top of “pretends she’s a ‘sex educator’ when she is not”.

Strike Two was/is that she’s a shameless content thief and on top of that brags about all of the traffic she gets. I wouldn’t resent this if she got all of that traffic from her bullshit stories because writing those does take time and they ARE valuable to her readers regardless of whether or not they are true. Okay, I would still resent that a wee bit. But what REALLY pisses me off? That she gets and retains a lot of traffic from posting stolen content on her erotic buttholes erotic facials erotic this and that picpost blogs. All of those shiny, pretty tumblers she’s so proud of are built entirely on her “collection” of photos she’s not in and didn’t take AND DOESN’T EVEN CREDIT to the real sites, photographers, or models except every so often on accident when the URL stamp hasn’t been cut off.

My ears are burning up just typing this, it makes me so mad. I remember seeing one of my friend’s faces smiling pretty with a load of cum on it in one of the pics Alexa posted with absolutely no mention of my friend’s name or her site and it just brought it home even harder to me that this person who pretends to be a sex worker, who pretends to be a sex worker advocate, is one of those people who thinks she has a right to capitalize on our bodies and our work for her own gain, to just TAKE our work like it’s free and redistribute. She’s like the guys on Craigslist who post that they have hard drives for sale with 437 gigs of porn on them that they’ve spent five years “collecting” or this one guy who wrote to me asking for a free membership to my site in exchange for the “collection” of menstrual porn he’d taken painstakingly snagged from here and there, by hook and by crook. When I angrily said no, he was like, “but I spent all of this time LABELING everything and putting them into folders! MY COLLECTION IS REALLY VALUABLE!”

Listen, I know most everybody’s been there before, very excited about the world wide treasure trove of free porn and bulletin boards and we want to show it off to people, our great taste in porn (or “erotic art”) and our amazing discoveries, but most of us had someone take us and shake us and remind us of a little thing called fucking COPYRIGHT. I am still a lot looser than other people when it comes to blogging on that — I don’t think you need to ask everybody for permission and think it’s fine to post stuff that’s out there for free already as long as it’s just a couple of samples AND YOU PROVIDE CREDIT to the original artist or a link back to where you found it or even just say “I wish I knew where this came from so I could credit the creators and models”. A blog-sized photo or three is like a quote from a book and seems to me fair use. But when your entire blog is comprised solely of uncredited porn? You’re just a thief. I’m apt to be forgiving when it’s someone who doesn’t know any better, but this Alexa person DOES know better, I’m sure of it, if she knows how to parse the language of 2257 laws while deliberately ignoring copyright infringement.

I am somebody who thinks copyright and trademark laws go a bit too far to the point where they constitute culture theft; I don’t want it to sound like I think every Joe Schmoe who posts a handful of pics on his rinky dink blog of his fave porn star should be prosecuted and fined thousands of dollars, but when someone has the audacity to brag about all of her traffic that’s built on stolen uncredited content, then she’s just a Big Asshole. And on top of that to have posted a portfolio that she claimed was of herself but was really photos of Princess Blue Eyez? That takes the theft to a whole other level and proves she’s a fraud (unless she is/was the model for that site).

Strike Three: it’s a petty one. But it was the day she told me I didn’t “get” what Twitter is for because I defended those of us who don’t feel the need/don’t have time to respond to questions tweeted to us. She is one of those “you owe a response to people” types who clearly doesn’t HAVE A REAL FUCKING JOB consuming all of her time the way we real sex workers do, those of us who realize it’s not our obligation to interact with and respond to people for free. Those of us who actually DO set a price on our time. And just goes back to Strike Number One of never admitting she’s wrong, which in this version is “there’s only one right way to do things (in this case use Twitter) and that is MY way”.

It all added up to me developing a blistering rage whenever I saw her saying similar things to other people, lecturing and chastising people who actually DO know what they’re talking about, who actually DO work their asses off and do jobs where we’ve sacrificed our privacy and taken real risks to do our work, all from this person who refuses to admit she’s wrong when it matters, even about little things. This person who doesn’t have the first clue or morsel of respect for our work, co-opting our work for his or herself thinking she can leverage her bullshit and ill-won popularity into a book deal or maybe just doing it because it greases his or her borderline personality disorder.

I’ve been wanting to say all of this for awhile now, but honestly didn’t want to be the one to step up and call her out on it because a person who has this much time on her hands could be the kind of person who will fuck with you indefinitely. And she certainly won’t learn anything from it or admit she’s wrong about anything so I just figured . . . WHY BOTHER?

Because who really cares if she’s a fake? Not her readers, apparently, who love an invisible woman with stolen pictures who never has a tired, stinky, or headachy story to tell about sex and ALWAYS sleeps naked and might invite YOU to a gang bang! And at first I was content to not care, either, until it wasn’t just about amusing herself with hypersexed tales to make ad sales to escort sites.

But I do care now. WE care. Those of us who pour our guts out for real, who HAVE our faces plastered with cum and other substances all over the internet, who are trying to make ends meet, who insist our time and our sex work is valuable and we should be compensated for it and our time in general, who HAVE gone to the schools we say we have, who are in some cases real educators . . . we care when you steal from us and then have the balls to teach people “sex ed” and gender ed and sex work 101 and scold us.

We care when you insinuate yourself into our virtual midst, insert yourself into our conversations and you can see US and take from US and pretend to be one of US . . . while you hide behind your charade. It’s fucking gross to those of us who are bonafide and verified. Those of us who have real work to do, posing for and/or shooting the pictures you steal, being real advocates for sex workers, actually TEACHING (as opposed to claiming we’re educators in interviews where your credentials are never verified), talking to real clients and customers (as opposed to simply amusing ourselves engaging in hot chat with freeloaders and teenagers who like our blogs). Yes, there are other anonymous sex worker bloggers some of whom I *adore* without question. But the thing is THEY NEVER DID THIS BULLSHIT ALEXA IS DOING. The content theft (to the EXTENT she does it), the hypocritical hand-slapping, and the offensive posturing.

To paraphrase a friend’s complaint, it’s creepy that this person knows who we are, but we don’t know who s/he is . . . and that person KNOWS he has an advantage over us when he talks to us . . . knows that he’s tricking us into treating him like the person he isn’t, like he’s one of us (and by “us” I don’t mean all of us are the same or do the same jobs or have the same identities). Alexa is basically someone who has succeeded in manipulating people into giving him free dances/handjobs/shows/phone sex.

*****

Well then . . . that about does it.

I feel a little ass-y about posting this, but kind of justified because I really wanted to emphasize the thing that matters more, I think, than creating a fake cum-hungry fantasy persona: it’s the hypocrisy of claiming to be a sex worker advocate WHILE YOU STEAL FROM THEM. The hypocrisy of “educating” people on transgender while you delete educational comments and corrections FROM PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY ARE. You know . . . stuff like that is bigger and more fucked-up than playing virtual dress-up. And I did want to provide an explanation for deleting my link to her and turning off all that ill-gotten traffic, so there you have it.

Note: I will not think less of you if you’re one of my readers or members and you continue to enjoy her blog (with a grain of salt please?) and I’m not saying that EVERYTHING on her blog is wrong, stupid or patently false; I’ve agreed with many things she’s said, and there WAS that awesome pet rabbit, Hansel. I definitely want to remind you, though, that all those pictures she posts? There are real people in them and real photographers who made them, so stop thanking Alexa for providing you with them, instead insist that she credits those in the images she shares so you can support (I hope) the people who ACTUALLY MAKE visual art/porn/erotica, not just steal it.

Oh man! I almost forgot that one time she told me I really *must* start waxing my twat, that my lovers would thank me for it. 😉 If you’ve been reading my blog for any length of time you probably know that I don’t take kindly to advice on pubic hair removal, even when coaxed with a wink and the promise of someone else appreciating it. Nothing against waxing, which I’m open to, just not so open to being patronized by someone who crows about her eversmooth grooming but has never shown a photo of her biscuit, if she actually has one.

I love this post! I only wish you had left some of your points—especially the ones about her stealing photographs and being critical of other women’s choices—as comments on her blog, although it’s probably possible (probable?) that she would just delete them. She linked to me once and called me an “off-the-street” prostitute. (Never heard that phrase before.) She was criticizing the fact that I’d written a post about how I sometimes don’t enjoy kissing my clients, and went on to brag about how vital it is to her that she do it with every single one of hers. Not only do I find her writing tedious, but her personality is not what I appreciate in fellow working girls…or in anyone, for that matter.

Nice, coherent rant, thank you. I’m a hobbyist, and relatively new to twitter but not to hobbying. I encountered AlexaRPD’s postings when Twitter created the Lists options. I know several of the ladies listed in the lists and am a client and perhaps even more than passing aquaintances to several. I started to peruse some of the blog posts by Alexa and quickly came to the (perhaps erroneous) conclusion that it was a male. Irregardless, the posts were bothersome in content, creativity and fact, hence I quickly “unfollowed” and have not missed a thing!

I enjoy your posts, please continue!

Charlotte: ahhh, thanks for the personal anecdote of how she irritated & criticized you. As far as leaving comments, yeah: I’m sure she’d delete them, but if not I actually don’t want to get into a back & forth with her which is why I’ve kept a lid on my annoyance up until now.

I’m actually pretty embarrassed about a number of melodramatic things I said in this post, but won’t let myself delete any of it either. Ah well!

HoaDC: thanks very much for your perspective; it’s good to know some dudes can see through the BS.

I agree on the stolen content issue, but what makes me more annoyed is that other perfectly respectable real sex workers and people who should know better ALSO post a lot of unattributed porn. I hate Tumblr because it seems to serve as little more than a place for people to post uncredited porn they found somewhere else.

Tumblr: making theft twee and hip and easy!

Trixie
on December 21, 2009 at 2:51 pm

Yeah, I definitely have to re-examine whether or not I’m consistent in my application of ire when it comes to this; like would I really confront somebody about it who didn’t also aggravate me in other ways? You’re so right about Tumblr being one of those cool platforms/tools that’s inspired a whole well-organized sense of easy entitlement and “if everyone else is doing it, it couldn’t POSSIBLY be wrong! And I’m totally crediting the friend who snagged it from whoever who stole it from google who won the perfect 10 lawsuit (or wait, now I can’t even remember what the outcome of that was)”. There are some grey areas where I’m waffly, but with her it just seems so shameless especially combined with the high horse she rides on.

Never been to this blog before your post is thought provoking and a good read.

If I may share something on this I am an a big reader of her blog and at the end of the day I don’t personal ,speaking only as an individual, care if she is or isn’t real. The truth is her blog has lead me to explore aspect of my sexuality i wouldn’t have otherwise; if she is real or not the inspirational effect she/he/they has/have had on me is definitely real. Real or not I get something out of her/him/their blog and that all that matters to me in the end. I fully understand the reasons why people have a greater interest in this I respect and acknowledge them.

However, again the simple truth that blog has become a tool in helping me navigate my own sexuality. Feel free to judge me call me pathetic or what have you for find such inspiration in the written of a faux ho, (honestly, I won’t be offended) it is the truth and I decided to share it, do with it what you will.

Trixie

I absolutely get where you’re coming from, nameless – thanks for posting. I don’t think you’re pathetic; I just read someone mention one of my fave now-defunct escort blogs as one she perceived as hilariously fake, but that I *adored* and have missed; I feel the same way you do when it comes to LOTS of things.

I enjoyed your entry and I think you really hit a lot of very good and valid points. The content stealing is something i really didn’t think much about when i was first began questioning in my own mind her legitimacy as a sex worker.

Proving she isn’t a real sex worker may not be easy. However showing her blatant violation peoples copyrights and intellectual property rights…now that’s easy. She revels in it.

I came here via aagblog, and this is the first post of yours I have read. I am a writer, wife, mom, and domestic violence/sexual assault advocate who does my blog and sex writing part time.

I really enjoyed your entire post, but you have my love forever for this:

“Oh man! I almost forgot that one time she told me I really *must* start waxing my twat, that my lovers would thank me for it. 😉 If you’ve been reading my blog for any length of time you probably know that I don’t take kindly to advice on pubic hair removal, even when coaxed with a wink and the promise of someone else appreciating it. Nothing against waxing, which I’m open to, just not so open to being patronized by someone who crows about her eversmooth grooming but has never shown a photo of her biscuit, if she actually has one.”

Yeah the never admitting she’s wrong thing is annoying. I also don’t like how she censors people so much. She embraces words like slut and whore, but if you say tramp stamp she’ll delete your comment. She also edits certain words out of reader comments. She’s an odd combination of snooty and attempting to be down-to-earth by having a butthole tumblr full of waxed anuses. Is that the correct plural for anus? Or is it ani?

TheBeautifulKind,
I’m confused – you posted lots of comments supportive of Alexa on her blog post where she responded to the accusations. Do more than one person use your account, or something?

DelightAndDole
on December 21, 2009 at 9:19 pm

Sorry, I’ve read all the drama on this now and I think that the claims of Alexa being fake don’t pass muster. A fake escort? She’s taken her readers through every step along the path to what she’s doing now. A fake wouldn’t post extensively about her pet rabbit. Or bother with tweeting diatribes about Obama’s lack of support for things like abolishing DADT. Or talk about her eye surgery. These are personal details that don’t contribute at all to the fantasy that she’s allegedly concocting. And she WOULD be looking, visibly, for ways to monetize all this time she’s spending, but I see absolutely nothing along those lines, other than (!) her escort work. And she’s gone into detail about how many hours a week she does that (10-15, I think it was), which is hardly time-intensive either. And at her rates, she’s pulling in $6000-$9000 a week. None of this strikes me as implausible; why does it seem so to everyone commenting here negatively?

Alexa just seems to have more time and energy than most people. But face it, the life of a master’s degree grad student is not THAT jam-packed with academics. Note how her vacations (Yellowstone, Florida, etc.) all correlate with academic times off. Why would she launch an effort (even if not all that successful) to establish a Sex Worker’s Code of Ethics? That doesn’t really contribute to the fantasy aspect either.

Think about it a little harder, and turn off that natural jealousy, folks.

Trixie
on December 21, 2009 at 9:56 pm

D&D: whether you think she’s fake or not, I don’t understand how you can ignore the content theft, especially when posting someone else’s pics in her portfolio (which does point directly to being fake in the line of work she’s claiming). I do agree that it is possible for someone to have enough time to do it all and she *could* be one of them. It is really annoying, though, for people to praise how she gives everything away for free, when the stuff she gives is NOT HERS TO DISTRIBUTE, and then have her thank those complimenting her with a, “glad you’re enjoying my work“. Stealing porn and posting it for free without doing a morsel of legwork to properly credit the creators is not “work”, it’s wankerhood. I wish I hadn’t given in to discussing the fakery at all so people would focus on the bigger issues.

I totally disagree with you that a fake wouldn’t post political and nonsexual stories. The person writing RPD may not be monetizing this particular blog, but there are other ways to get paid and the currency here could be attention (as Matisse suggested), sexually-charged interactions with folks online, warm fuzzies from her fans, and/or (as I suspect) think it will lead to a book deal. Or it could just be the sheer power of tricking people or a writing experiment or just to pass the time in an amusing manner. Those are not far-fetched motivations and RPD does a great job of presenting a character with real passions and experiences (that I do think are genuine) outside of the bedroom, too. Alexa has read and studied other successful blogs, all of which touch on the kinds of nonsexual details that make a blogger feel familiar and likable.

So OF COURSE she would post about her rabbits, are you mad? How can you not love somebody who loves bunnies?!?

Well said. There is no rant like a late night Trixie rant. You’ve also just called out something I’ve caught myself waffling on, and thank you for that.

I admit, I got sucked into the whole Tumblr thing, but I’ve always been conflicted about it for exactly the reasons you mention. After some of Alexa’s Twitter posts about her stats I wanted to test drive it and see if it really worked as a quick traffic generator, but as someone who sells my image it always felt funny.

I’ve spent too much time going back and forth over it. I’d decided earlier this month it’s going strictly attributed with affiliate links. If professional naked ladies’ pics are going to be passed around they should damn well come with handy instructions for paying her to see more. Do you think that’s a better solution for running an ethical Tumblr, or do you think the format is inherently problematic?

“I wish I hadn’t given in to discussing the fakery at all so people would focus on the bigger issues.”

Being guilt of this (focusing on the fakery) allow me to correct that and focus on this.

“don’t understand how you can ignore the content theft”

I’ll say this your right on this issue; however I think it easy to ignore because we live in an age full of it. Furry Girl said it Tumlr basically exists to be used for content theft. It’s not right, it’s not right that we ignore it but we do. Most of the music I have is pirated; all the porn I have is pirated; before I lost my interest in TV and moves I downloaded TV shows off the web and paid for a netflicks account just so I could do burn and return; I’ve burn and shared DVDs pertinent to my field of study with my colleagues; and I have 3 tumblrs* attached to this handle. It not although I haven’t thought about these thing before. It just after so many times of repeating the cycle of downloading feeling guilty only to re-download and start it all other again, I decided to just accept this as a moral failing on my part and move one. So I can understand why people ignore these thing it has become a part of our culture. On that same note while I can intellectually agree with you on this even wish you luck in stopping “Alexa” because of the reasons above I can’t join you or anyone else in attacking her or using this as a method of taking her down because if nothing else I would be a hypocrite.

I will say this I admire you for putting principle, ahead of your own self interest (blog traffic); in that respect you’re a better person then I. As I said in my last post I acknowledge there are many very real reasons to be concerned about “Alexa”; I wish I had the strength of character to place those concerns ahead of my own self interest (what I ultimately get out of my interactions with “Alexa”)…but I’m just not that strong a person.

The woman on this site is who Alexa used photos of to advertise herself. BlueeyedCass is a webcam performer out of NY. you can follow her on twitter. They are clearly NOT the same person. Alexa has never mentioned she’s ever done webcam work nor has she given explanation of why she uses this woman’s photos. She was recently asked about it on her blog comments and skipped over the question.

Several of us in the activist community were sent an email a few months back with links to this site. I had never known about it beforehand, but had know there were suspicions about her. It’s what “did me in” on the Alexa thing.

I just don’t get her appeal/popularity. Blogs are meant to be revealing and somewhat stimulating and this whole “scandal” has been the only thing interesting about Alexa.

Trixie
on December 22, 2009 at 1:27 pm

Really? I totally understand her appeal. All of her posts may not be appealing *to me*, but I can certainly understand why they’d be appealing to other people. And again, I LOVED THE POST ABOUT HANSEL THE RABBIT! Plus there’s all that free porn, and while this may sound like small beans, the presentation/design is good which makes the whole thing more readable. Not to mention that she’s presenting an idealized version of lots of people’s fantasy woman who always has well-groomed, outstanding, ideal kinds of sex.

DelightAndDole

Trixie, anyone who isn’t independently wealthy who spends THAT much time on her blog, tweets, etc. must have a way of earning money. This isn’t someone who is doing it on the side, away from a 9-5 job. And she’s not monetizing it in any way. “Attention” doesn’t put food on the table. The most plausible explanation is that (!) she’s an ESCORT. I think the content theft thing is a totally different issue, and not what has the blogosphere buzzing most.

I see jealousy, frankly, particularly when people throw out phrases like “bad erotic fiction” to describe her blog. The reason her blog is successful is that it’s HOT. It’s also ironic to see sex workers’ snooty tweets about how the only people supporting Alexa’s claims are “horny men and anonymous internet types.” Uh, if it weren’t for those two types, would any sex worker have any income? Let’s not bite the hand that feeds you, ladies. Again, it’s JEALOUSY. Just wait; if she decides to actually do something to prove she’s real, that’s when the real haters will come out. Shame, folks.

Trixie
on December 22, 2009 at 1:39 pm

Serpent: I’m actually wondering if I was jumping to conclusions thinking that because she posts so much co-opted, uncredited content that her portfolio pics must also belong to someone else; maybe BlueEyedCass/PrincessBlueEyez really IS her. It’s not actually clear *to me* that they are not the same person. Clearly they are two different *personAS*, but that doesn’t mean it’s not the same person (or team) behind both. I still think NYHotties.com is in this mix, too.

Although one thing if you do go there if it doesn’t become apparent what Serpent is talking about. Close down the widow and then go to the site again keep repeating you’ll know when to stop. I say this because I went there before and couldn’t see what the big incriminating evidence was however now; NOW I see it. The imagine “Alexa” use for her blog header is clearly one of the cam-girls images flipped and cropped; definitely the death blow as this is the one question she never answered in any real way and she removes any mention of the bluedeyecass form her site.

Yep I’ll say it Alexa Di Carlo is a fraud.

…and I still don’t care. Like I said I get something out of my interaction with the “Alexa” that I don’t get elsewhere, knowing she’s a fake doesn’t change that. Thus, I’m going to keep playing along with her little game. I’m not proud of this and again I’m honestly not offend if anyone thinks ill of me for it, but it is the truth. Not that it matters the Alexa Empire is slowly tumbling down, and since I assume she/he/they will read she/he/they will probably block/unfollow/stop interacting with me anyway.

Although there is one thing I must ask……couldn’t you people have wait until after the gangbang post to exposure she/he/them…lol… I was looking forward to reading that particular work of fiction. Now ,since it looks like Alexa might go down in flames before he/she/them finishes it, I feel like someone canceled my favorite tv show after a cliffhanger episode.

Grr…wasn’t clear on this the it didn’t become apparent at first visit because the picture that loads isn’t always the stolen one Alexa uses on her site. Hence why you may have to leave and reenter a few times to see what I mean.

Sabrina: I can totally understand the appeal of using Tumblr non-professionally as a real webLOG, to record inspiring little web journeys and stuff, and I think there’s something valuable about those, particularly when people post their own responses to the art or whatever they’ve posted. And honestly it doesn’t barf me out when people share those with friends (or more) when there’s a visible trail, which most Tumblrs seem to have. The thing that bothers me about Alexa’s is that all but the “words” Tumblr are 1) just blatant uncredited ripoffs from start to finish and 2) all of those other things I mentioned (brag about her traffic, scold other people, call this theft “work” and the results HER collection, etc.).

NamelessChaos: Oh dear . . . I am *not* being selfless here. I’m also not trying to “stop” Alexa. I’m pretty much just being a ranting asshole because she rubbed me the wrong way a few too many times and the time was ripe to be vocal about it. This hardly makes me “strong” or a “better person”.

DelightAndDole: OMG, seriously? You really think the most plausible explanation for her having enough money to sit online is that she truly is an escort (even after people who, for example, really ARE strippers have laughed their asses off at bizarre romanticized fake details like the stripper pole that erupts out of the center of the stage?)? I’m not saying that’s impossible, but it seems more probable to me that maybe she’s an older bored retired guy (or bored gal) or she’s someone with parents who support her or someone who doesn’t actually maintain the lifestyle she claims to and has some other side projects that keep her studio apartment paid for and actually is a total shut-in or is the girlfriend of a webmaster who made a bunch of money on porn online before competition really heated up or IS that webmaster. I can think of a thousand explanations more plausible than “she’s telling the truth”.

As far as the criticisms of other folks’ criticisms, I agree that’s one way too look at it and I can understand being rubbed the wrong way by those kinds of remarks.

Trixie, any of the scenarios you propose are equally improbable, in that they presume that said person has the talent, the will, and above all the stamina to pull this off over years of blogging and tweeting. Even most of Alexa’s detractors admit that she’s been incredibly internally consistent in what she presents. That’s not at all trivial to concoct, and again, to what end? Other literary frauds of note were in it for the money: yet Alexa has done exactly zero to monetize her blog (unless, again, you consider being an escort!). I can’t buy the “attention” angle, or I’d have seen much different behavior from her over time, such as incessant flirting via Twitter, where her timeline is public.

I just think people are glomming onto the always-enticing conspiracy theory angle of this, inventing outlandish explanations where a simple one suffices.

D&D: heads up if I don’t publish anymore of your comments repeating the same thing/being a brick wall/tunnel visioning.

For one thing she *does* incessantly flirt via twitter, and some of the older criticisms of her were for striking up relationships online with very young women which some people thought were inappropriate. And as far as the money thing, you keep ignoring the motivation of the RPD author angling for a book deal. I’m not saying she’d get one, but a lot of people post-Belle, post-Diablo, post-Waiter Rant, etc. have blogged with that specific goal in mind.

If you love her blog, FINE! I’m sorry if it ruins everything for you to suggest that it’s full of falsified bullshit and that I personally think he or she does some pretty assholey things.

“details like the stripper pole that erupts out of the center of the stage?”)

If I may stick my neck in to this yet again; if you look at her myspace it does name a club by name http://www.myspace.com/alexadicarlo; Solid Gold which *is* a real club down here in south Florida (it being renamed to Dean’s Golds) I can confirm that much.. I’ve never been to the place so I can’t confirm or deny if it is set up the way Alexa describes but it not something unverifiable. If any other South Florida guys are reading this I’ve just given you the prefect cover just tell your GF your going to the club for the sake of investigative journalism 😉

and actually nameless chaos, if anyone was able to see the photos in her portfolio on her professional site before she had them password protected: http://www.alexadicarlo.com you would have seen that ALL of those photos were taken from this lady’s site. Disgusting.

But its not expertly designed, in fact the “about page” links to a start up page that hasn’t even been filled in. So whoever is doing that blog, really is a beginner at wordpress. The styles are very different, in tone, look, feel and message.

Please note on Dec 12th BlueEyedCass posted a photo on her blog of the Snow in NY, on her deck. She then lamented how it was going to take her extra time to get to class…. in NEW YORK.

Yeah, but just because she doesn’t own & do the webmastering for BlueyedCass doesn’t mean she isn’t both the model for it AND the blogger/escort RPD. It just means that at least one of them is an artificial persona with lots of concocted details. So yeah — proves one thing (that she’s not all REAL), but not the other (that she’s not Cass).

She hasn’t claimed to be Cass …. Yet. She’s avoided the question, implied she’s Cass, let the reader assume she’s Cass when confronted But she has not come out and said “I am blue eyed Cass”

She’s said that if she didn’t look like her pictures (which are pictures of… Cass)that her “clients” would have sent her away and complained. Yanno if she was actually a working escort and actually had clients.

Trixie

Huh — I perceived her nonresponses to that in a different way; she avoided it because if she IS Cass, then she is making up enough baloney that her fans would be dismayed, and if she denies it straight out then that can easily/has already been proved wrong just by comparing the sites.

I can see why, though, if she DOES escort AND model for that site, which the model does not own (judging from what I’ve read on webmaster boards), then she’d have good reasons to want to keep them distinct for legal, professional, and perhaps contractual (with the site owners) reasons. Of course, that would make USING PICS FROM THAT SITE a really big/stupid mistake on her part.

I can think of a lot of different possible scenarios/situations but I need to stop and do real work.

Interesting list of people commenting on this. Many of whom I have already included on my blogroll. Many of whom I only found because of the comments they left on RPD.

So, fake or not, thank you Alexa for pointing me at so many interesting, intelligent and witty people. Now, of course, “she” has led me to you Trixie & I’ll be delighted to include you on my blogroll as well.

Not sure whether to take RPD off yet or not – probably not as I might add a posting on this myself, but I need to do a bit more digging first

I come at this story from a slightly different angle: the hobbyist boards.
It has long been whispered about among hobbyists that “Alexa” was using fake pictures. That’s always a red flag to the guys. Hell, guys get seriously pissed off when the $100 Craigslist girl is using fake pics, what are they gonna make of the $2000 girl using fake pics?
But digging deeper, I can’t find ANY guys who have actually sessioned with “Alexa”. I have read one post on a message board by one guy who claims to have seen her (years ago when she was starting out), but the curious thing is that no one can vouch for HIM. So, a guy no one else has seen or met is the only one vouching for a girl no one else has seen or met.
It seems to follow “Alexa’s” pattern of creating sock puppets to flesh out her support.

I posted this comment on her blog, and she denied that it be published on her blog.

““No one has demonstrated that any photo on my professional site is/was “fake.” And, as I state on my About page, I provided full disclosure that the photos used on RPD are not me and were found on the Net to be used to illustrate the material I post here.”

BlueyedCass85 on twitter very clearly states that she is not you, and that you’ve been stealing her photos. She also says that she has contacted you about it, and you made those photos private.

“Dude, you don’t know anything about my academic credentials. You certainly don’t know my real name so you can’t possibly have any idea what my academic background involves.”

Oh, but you’ve stated on several occasions elsehwere that you went to school in Florida, and got your degree in Pyscholofy from a school in Miami. Care to see the ONLY student in the human sexuality masters program that even remotely matches your credentials?

“Richard Garcia – Richard is a graduate of Florida International University in Miami with dual degrees in Psychology and Women’s Studies. His research interests are in the areas of transgender and intersex constructions of sexual and gender identity, sexual scripts in the LGBT community, and the relationships between race, gender and sexuality in drag performances. His focus is on social activism and awareness around issues in minority sexual health, education and trans-rights.”

Please, explain, and do not avoid the “Why are you stealing photos?” question, because it’s been confirmed that these photos are not you.. and you’ve posted these photos as yourself on many occasions on private forum boards. It’s not just your website. You’re using these photos as if they are you, and Cass say they’re definitely not. Please, own up and answer that.”

I was kicked off of this girl’s Caitlain’s Corner website for arguing with her when she was wrong. She banned me temporarily. When I threatened to expose her for her fraud (which I’ve known about for years, though this is more thorough than I could’ve ever come up with), she banned me permanently. She’s been a fraud since she first showed up as “Agent 69” on student.com, as far back as I could remember. Then she made her own stupid sex website (CC) where she tells people routinely that she knows more than doctors or gynecologists.

This dumb bitch is a fraud and has been stealing pics from that poor Cass girl for years, and making up all sorts of lies about her shit.

I’ve read the CCEXPOSED blog before, and I verified that, yes, she does own all of the websites, and no, even when she supposedly lived in Florida and went to school, they weren’t registered in Florida, but still in San Francisco.

She’s a liar, a fraud, and hilariously stupid to boot.

Good job.

DelightAndDole: Her vacations DO not match up. When she told everybody on her Caitlain’s Corner website that she was doing one thing (watching a dog in San Francisco), the person she borrows pics from, BlueEyedCass, was busy in New York watching a Broncos-Giants game. How can she be in two places at once? Ah, she can’t. Because she’s a fucking fake.

I knew that BlueEyedCass and Alexa were not the same person based on their twitter feeds. There was no way. I’m just glad the Cass girl finally confirmed it for everyone to see today because people had told me she had been contacted about it before. I just wonder why Alexa thought she could blatantly steal photos from a live camgirl site and not get caught????

Perpetuating a fake female sex worker persona online is not Richard’s style. He would rather talk about Judith Butler and structural violence than write about deep-throating.

More evidence this is not Richard: in the beginning of November he was in Puerto Vallarta for the SSSS conference and busy as hell. No way he was blogging from the conference in Puerto Vallarta.

The Florida link is a coincidence as far as I am concerned. This could easily be a student at SF State but not likely from my cohort or even the graduate studies. So, in conclusion, Richard Garcia is not the cad you seek. The fact that Alexa talks about STIs tips me off because Richard has minimal interest in STIs or any type of biological studies. He’s a queer theory man all the way.
